Proof that food can be beautiful. We have a purple theme going in the garden. The purple tinged cauliflower draws many comments at the market as well as do the huge rutabagas. We have been very impressed with the Red Sails lettuce. It has withstood the heat without bolting or tasting bitter and lasts for weeks in the fridge after being picked. We have made lots of pesto with green and purple basil (and sold quite a bit to people making basil, tomato and mozzarella cheese dishes.) One of the varieties of sweet corn has purple tassels. We are very excited about having corn ready this early in the summer and ate the first ears yesterday.
